I appreciate the link provided for valuable articles. In reading The Buildings of DC, I was curious about platform specific buildings, especially Facebook.

I play on iPad Pro and appreciate Freebies Island. My account is connected to Facebook, yet I do not see the buildings described in that article.

I am unable to post a link here for your convenience, though I see the link icon. It mentioned Deus’ daily spin, wizards, etc. I pulled up DC on iMac but it’s missing the Alliances and Freebies Island.

Are the buildings specific to fb on PC? Perhaps I need to sign in differently. I thought they are integrated because of the fb friends who request help.

@Bettina-Löffler LOL I knew my answer. Pretty soon I can be a moderator ha ha (not). Thanks Bettina. And you’re right, my question was not about the light arena. It’s just if there had been a light arena discussion, that’s where I would’ve placed my question. I’m still learning, and I suppose it could’ve been a separate topic in itself.

I did not find the light arena discussion on a search, although might just have missed it. My question is whether we have information about upcoming arena rules.

Both light and dark required leveling up and boosting new dragons. I am a new player, so of course inhad few dragon resources.

It would be nice, however, to learn upcoming arena rules in time to prepare, within the context of family and life schedules. Dark was hard for me for the same reasons as everyone. Light has been challenging without light element heroics (a challenge, as with dark, to which I must admit I am creatively rising).

Unfortunately, both required real money, the amount of which I cannot continue to justify. Being new, building a basic dragon city, justified purchases to date and was the reason for our fun investment.

Thank you for your feedback and any suggestions. I think I know my answer, yet wanted to ask since I am still in a high learning curve.

@LilCricketPa Terrific resources, and thank you. I will follow through.

Actually, I cannot pull up the valuable resources without losing my note, so I have a personal question about finding a solid alliance of chest workers, as I am. Do you either know of one with a space, or a place to find one? I thought I did but attrition is repeatedly high and the lead is inconsistent in all areas. I’m considering leaving. This was our third chest. I was by far highest on the first two, got stumped heroic- less in the light arena this time, but still managed 560 pts. I also know this question might belong elsewhere. Feel free to redirect.

I’m new. Doing my best and having fun. I am in the light arena - thus, heroic-less - up against OP heroic teams (often a combination of High Priest, Comet, Celestial, and Realm). I spent two days boosting and leveling the best counters (per DCG).

Winstance’s Tower helps, but one hour a day is not enough to help, in this situation, our concomitant Alliance chest.

(1) I’ve heard that whose dragons attack first relates to Master Points. Is this true? It seems the heroic goes first. If my underdog team went first, I’d have a shot. Mine are maxed, well selected, and ranked A+ (3 gold stars).

(2) Also, within the arena, usually the opponent at the bottom of the column goes second (it appears third in the pre-battle line up). Sometimes, however, the middle one goes second. Is there a battle order? This is an additional handicap for my team, as my carefully selected and prepared dragon loses precious HP by the attack of the mismatched heroic / dragon.

I’m hoping to learn more, or have this disorganization confirmed, so that I might adapt.

I usually purchase coins, at a sale price, so value best for more. It is like throwing money down the drain.

I suggest DC rollover event coins in a permanent balance for members. I probably lost $30 in jungle island, a little less in Shire, because I assumed there would be a standing balance, as for gems and gold.

I see that I could have used my Shire Island coins for today’s Magic Castle. I’m tempted to sit these next few event islands out (saving for the heroic race, as I’m new and still building a base team).

Thank you for your consideration. I did not find this suggestion in searching the forum so offer it.

@LilCricketPa As far as cuteness, I agree and got the Scaredy Cat too lol. From a newbie’s perspective with no light heroics, my dragons slaughtered in each arena battle (few exceptions), I’m also looking for high category dragons to add lol.

@CaptainLooks I paid for the special to get the gauntlet towards the end. It was DC’s response, I think, to so many expressing concerns about finding enough Gauntlet orbs to breed the Augmented. Now they seem everywhere, including another special. Be patient, and hold hope.

Do you mean High Realm (heroic) event on the 26th? Haven’t come across that. Will have to re-read the April update, now that I’m past the Easter event and watchtower island.

UPDATE: you most certainly meant High Resolution dragon, in a new heroic race. Thanks for the reminder!

@caf34 Only the legendary is really worth it. Although for newer players building a dragon city, Luminaire rocks. I got Bomber and had coins left, so went back through from top to bottom. It was so fun, I broke down and bought more coins when on sale. Good luck!

Hi, my DC app (connected to Facebook) works great on iPhone 7 Plus. The ancient world - very built out on iPad Pro - does not open. Rather, a screen saying “You have unlocked the new AW. Press the BEGIN button when you are ready!”

I’m terrified to press it on the chance it erases the one I access on iPad.

Does anyone know if the AW - before the developers left - works on iPhone? More, what might I expect to press BEGIN? Thank you

@Bettina-Löffler@LilCricketPa I wanted to thank you both, and this community, for your personal assistance, yet also the very helpful articles you provide. I did get the Bomber for my grandson. I had extra coins, so then went back and collected enough pieces and bananas to get everything. There is a learning curve in this game, and we choose to make it fun and accept challenges, or whine and give up. You are awesome. I am glad you are DC forum moderators. And, yes, I do have a split screen on iPad Pro. I cannot interact with the forum on iPhone, so use iPad. It doesn’t seem mobile friendly on iPhone. Now I’ll search for where to ask an AW question. Until next time,

@Bettina-Löffler Hello, I’ve uploaded a screenshot of where we are. If this is too difficult, I accept my mistakes and learn for the next time. If it is simple, though, I appreciate your time and assistance. Also, I just purchased 7,000 coins. I can get more, if needed.

@EpicDragon Trying to get you the screenshot again (I made them for the whole maze, but will send the one that shows where we are per your request.) I very much appreciate ANY help and am willing to do the leg work. PS I see now how to upload them. The file size is too large. I’ll be back when I can figure out how to make it smaller.

@Bettina-Löffler The reason I wanted to go back to the beginning and reset spins is that I found a video with the answer. Ideally I wanted the Luminaire dragon for myself, plus the bananas to get Black Magic. I had been poking away but wasn’t doing well so searched before giving up. He would like the Bomber, so that is #1 if the rest is blown. Here’s a screenshot. (Going up, I couldn’t see how to break through the top, but the video did it.) ... I cannot seem to upload the screenshot from my Photos. Do I need a higher reputation? It just shows code for video URL. I’m sorry, I’m tired from these events lol (on top of all else).

@Bettina-Löffler THIS IS TERRIFIC ADVICE!!! Thank you. My big question, though , is whether I can reset the watchtower island spin to start again. I had to move along piecemeal due to the timing of family spring break visits, and one time I thought I was on flight but was not. I am stuck in an impossible place and want to move down and start again. Is there any hope? I appreciate your thoughts on this. Otherwise, I will have to let it go with having just the Deathly dragon for the quest. I have a 9 year old boy hoping grandma can get the Bomber dragon.

@Bettina-Löffler Sadly, DC just excluded the newer players. It should be called the Heroics arena. I powered up level 40, gold star legendaries and epics. I got through the first group of three 50K+ Heroics, to face a second group (92,000, 82,000, 50,000 HP), defeating 2-1/2, losing my team...to face yet another OP team of Heroics. ️

@terrencedg ALLIANCE GROW FOOD CHEST - Hi, my answer did not come up on a search. I understand grow food is new to Alliance chests. We are having difficulty determining chest points per type of production ( from Backyard Gardener to Super Producer). Is there a list somewhere?

Also, does speeding production with gems, per farm, yet also Ramsey’s, affect these points?

The lead and I are top chest workers, yet cannot even meet minimum chest points. Thanks for any clarity or links.

@Bettina-Löffler This is good to find. Although the light arena started today, I woke in Dark II (though I ended in Dark III). Does this mean we have to battle through Dark II and III again before starting the light arena?

@Nynaevelan We are new enough, and my grandson is emotionally invested, that the price was justified given the previous investment in time, hope, and also money. I will not participate in future events like this though, for the reasons you and others listed. DC takes advantage of people. It is fun enough that I will try to find a workaround.

@Nynaevelan I awoke to DC’s solution to ensuring members would be able to summon a fully orbed Gauntet dragon, albeit it cost $14.99 for the 50 orbs sale that appeared this morning. Then, again, it took nearly 20 sped up breedings to finally hatch the Augmented Dragon.

A nice surprise, while many of these breeding “failures” were common duplicate dragons, Gauntlet and Skeleton gifted us with our elusive Fallen Angel in the process.

My grandson now has his Ovi Easter dragon egg awaiting his hatching. Granted, this event was intense and expensive. Along the way, though, I learned how to empower myself more in future events and made friends with our helpful moderators and even other forum contributors. Thank you!

@LilCricketPa oh my if that day ever arrives. We have only bred 2-3. It is a very expensive game initially, definitely slow to grow. My grandson enjoys crafting gems, leveling up summoned dragons (we can afford 6 now) to earn platinum, upgrading mines, evolving dragons.

I imagine the game has changed a lot since the beginning. Thousands of platinum are required for almost each step. I’ve spent proportionately more gems on AW to start up.

So, lol, we are far from running out of baby steps to even afford further breeding. But we love our mermaid and Secret Fire, and they facilitated our humble new team of dragons to reach Dark III from Terra I in a week!

@LilCricketPa We got a good number through Quests. Quest3’s are still to come (I hope - it said today), and have more. I don’t recall finding any on Shire Island. I did buy the special that had 30, if I recall, for $4.99. You might see if it is still available (on the right where features are marketed in a column). Don’t give up.

Hi, It is odd and related (seemingly) to the single large farm when I put it on a different length of harvest. Let me try to clarify what I’m noticing. Thank you for your interest.

I have one large and 13 small/regular farms. I had an excess of gold, so tested the large farm on a 24 hr harvest. Maybe 3-4 days ago the first time. All other farms were 5 or 30 minutes. I think it harvested food fine from all 14 farms the first time with Speedy and Greedy. I eyeballed the food numbers and all seemed ok. The last two times I shortened just the 24 hr harvest farm because I needed to level up new Easter event dragons for quests. That’s when I saw, after paying the gems to speed it up, the food amount did not change. 150,000 food disappeared at least twice (I don’t usually so carefully check).

So I had 13 farms going on 5 min harvests.
The large farm was on a 24 hr harvest.

Small farms are fine. The large farm seemed to work until I used gems.

@Nynaevelan We play only on iPad Pro so mobile. He bred the first two that failed in the mountain. I said try the tree and sanctuary. Thanks for the correction (an aside I do not understand from articles, if you might recommend a link: can we use the sanctuary dragons if unowned?). I will level up once our food collection bug is fixed. Waiting to hear on that. Normally we breed around 20 or higher. Difficult timing. Much gratitude.

@EpicDragon I tried to find an answer through searching, but I’m not sure where to put this problem. This seems like a catchall thread, so I will try. My grandson is doing the Easter event and bred the skeleton and pungent dragons this morning five times, and he got a dark, zombie, two vampires, and something else that was common. (We already have all of these.) Since his visit is short and we were speeding up with gems, I am very hesitant to try again. Any advice? I did not see minimum breeding levels. He tried the mountain, tree and sanctuary (fully leveled). I think both dragons are level 8 (we are experiencing food collection bugs, despite restarting my iPad). Thanks for any insight.
